Catch our chat on YouTube losing its SESAC license!

YouTube Music fans are in for a disappointment, with the company losing access to SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers) content.

One of the benefits of YouTube is its bargaining powering. As one of the leading streaming services, the company has the ability to negotiate deals that would be difficult for smaller players. For the sake of its users, hopefully it will be able to come to a new agreement with SESAC soon.

our music license agreement with SESAC has expired without an agreement on renewal conditions despite our best efforts. for this reason, we need to block certain music content on YouTube in the US
